Yes, the owner says everything is accessible from the right side of the tractor: oil filter, dipstick, and filler, plus the fuel filters and water separator.
No, it does not have a diesel particulate filter, though it does have a type of converter, which the owner says saves him from worrying about clogging and repair costs.
